Some comment from Parallels, not sure if it’s true, ip is from Seattle .

Hi all – we wanted share an official statement from Parallels Inc. on the use of Chameleon in Parallels Desktop 7:

The Chameleon 2.0-RC2 code which we use is licensed under the terms of an Apple Public Source License. On the Parallels third-party code use page (http://www.parallels.com/support/desktop/licensing/) we explain the use of the Chameleon project code. As per the license rules, we’re preparing our sources for publication and will provide them around the time of our official product availability.

If you have any additional questions, please send an email to license@parallels.com.

@netkas modbin tells me since fassl created the gui for chameleon that parallels has been using chameleon i am going to assault them on twitter to see if the acknowledge the work of others and if they intend on donating to the chameleon team also ill see about having their app kg’ed and having the kg publicly released

That is a complete absurd!
Sometimes I feel like helping companies instead of people while helping hackintosh.
Worse that I feel is the situation they create over colaborative works, we are almost obligated to play their games with licenses & etc this way…
Living and learning, with terrible examples to learn from

I think they use the Chameleon bootloader.
Why? It looks exactly the same even the background collour is the original chameleon one. And the logo of the buttons. Only bootbanner has changed. Some ppl think they don’t use it because chameleon updates itself almost every day. BUT they just took a stable chameleon version and since Mac hardware is the same as PC one just with other ORIGINAL apple bios so it won’t need any kexts.
MMmmmmm… Thiefs

Well, at the last year I did the same, and the Parallels gave-me their chameleon source code.
I did the same with vmware too, but no luck… They don’t gave-me their sources. At http://www.apple.com we haven’t a place to report this dirty things.
